Introduction
One of Dade County's greatest assets is the
diversity of its neighborhoods. Everyone who
has settled in the area has come from someplace else. Some of the earliest settlers came
from northern states, and they or their parents
were immigrants. Many of the more recent settlers came from Latin America and the Caribbean. The people who have chosen to settle
here have often brought with them their own
ideas about culture, food, language, architecture and style.
Once here, these new ideas fuse with the
existing culture, creating the truly unique mixture identified with South Florida today. A
broad range of neighborhoods emerges. There
are those with a unique or specific architectural theme, like Coral Gables, Miami Shores
and Morningside, with their Mediterranean
Revival homes; Opa-locka's Moorish fantasies;
Miami Springs' Pueblo Revival visions;
Hialeah's Mission past; Miami Beach's Art
Deco; neighborhoods full of history like the
bay era represented by Coconut Grove and
Lemon City; the Black heritage of Overtown
and Liberty City; the recent history of Little
Havana and Little Haiti; rural areas like South
Dade, Homestead and Florida City; working
areas like Larchmont, Melrose, Carol City and
Little River; and bedroom communities in
northeast Dade County like El Portal, Biscayne
Park, North Miami and North Miami Beach. To
see how really different Dade is we suggest a
visit to one of our many colorful
neighborhoods.
For more information, contact Metro-
Dade Historic Preservation Division, CED at
545-4228; or Dade Heritage Trust, Inc. at 358-
9572; or Historical Association of Southern
Florida at 375-1492.
Tours are offered by many local groups,
including the Art Deco District (call the Miami
Design Preservation League at 672-2014), the
Morningside District (call the Morningside
Civic Association at 758-0940) and Coconut
Grove (call the Villagers at 666-4162).
